A petty cash box recovered from the burned-out library in Lac-Mégantic, Que. has been returned to its rightful owner.

The library and much of the historic downtown was destroyed on July 6, when a train carrying oil derailed and exploded, killing 47 people.

Diane Roy, the president of the Lac-Mégantic library’s board of directors, told CBC Quebec City reporter Marika Wheeler in September that police had found a petty cash box while sifting through the library's rubble.
